I'm not sure what you mean, but you can "flash" a button by setting a timer that will constantly hide/show its text...

Sorry, I ment the button on the start menu or what you call it. Hence the "Desktop" part. You can make the mIRC-button flash on for example highlight or private message, just wondered if it was anything like that for a dialog.

Oh, now I get it... though I don't think it's possible with the current commands.

Guess not. So changing the text on it with a timer is probably the best way to go. Then kill the timer when the dialog is active again. Or something like that. Thanks =)

Any good ideas on how to do THAT (killing the timer when the dialog is active again) then? on ACTIVE and on DIALOG doesn't seem to help much at least.

Unfortunately there are no activation events for dialogs, but we can use something like this... dialog x {
size -1 -1 80 80
title "text"
}
On *:dialog:x:init:0:.timerx 0 1 _isactive
On *:dialog:x:close:0:.timerx off
alias -l _isactive {
if !$dialog(x).active {
dialog -t x $iif($dialog(x).title == -,text!,-)
}
}Paste this code in the remote and open the dialog - /dialog -md x x. Afterwards, minimize it and see what happens

Ooh, missed the $dialog().active in the helpfiles.  Thanks. I'll use some trigger so it won't have to be a continous timer though. Thanks again!

Possible (if unwieldy) solution:
Take screenshots of your average button with printscreen and edit in paintbrush.
Take one of button pressed, button normal, etc. Edit the flashing and nonflashing states.
set a timer to swtcih the flash/no flash images every N intervals. Make it do this by calling aln alias that checks the mouse isn't down, as that'd mess up your effect a little.
Its messy. Its bulky. It can work tho.

How on earth do you switch the image on the button on the Start Menu/Line/Thingie?
